Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Justin Stephens]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98)
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.5

I just downloaded the latest version of Firefox 1.5. But, when I go to install it, it produces the error "7-zip", "Unspecified Error". I'm using Windows 98SE, i currently did not have Firefox installed, but I previously had Firefox 1.0, don't know what build. I had the hunch that it may have to do with a newer version of a ZIP extractor, but, I'm really not sure what extracter you used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Installation file
2. Open Installation file

Actual Results:  
An error:
"7-Zip", "Unspecified Error"

Expected Results:  
Installation Window should've opened up.

Did you try downloading it again? Often that can be caused by bad downloads.

This typically seems to happen on Windows platforms older than XP.

I re-downloaded it and it's working fine, thank you.
